It exceeded my expectations. ----- ### "Review of ABBYY FindeReaer PDF" — 5.0/5 > **Anne** | *29 May 2022* | Translation & Localisation | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Accurate OCR result and the language selection. > > **Cons**: Sometimes due to the poor PDF quality, the text recognition capability becomes limited. > > Pretty good. ----- ### "Perfect software for people looking to replace Adobe Acrobat Pro" — 5.0/5 > **Peter** | *22 May 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The suite of features is far more expansive than my other PDF related products. The document management, document conversion, digital signatures, and the giant array of supported file types made this an easy choice for me. Especially when I started using it and realized that the UI was intuitive and top notch\! > > **Cons**: There is not a lot I dislike about it. I think the only part that was a little difficult was getting the digital signature process set up how I wanted it to be in my workflow. It was the only area in the application that I really had to do some looking up to see how to get the most out of it. > > I made it about 4 days into the trial before I purchased the full license. I have removed most of the Adobe products I used to use from my workflow, and yet I always had to keep an Adobe Acrobat Pro subscription to cover my PDF needs. This was a huge find for me as it can duplicate all that I needed from the Adobe products, and more, for a far more reasonable price. I have already recommended this software to my team as something we will cover to eliminate their needs for other products. ----- ### "ABBY IS ONE OF THE BEST OCR AND PDF APPLICATION" — 5.0/5 > **ILKER** | *11 December 2023* | Translation & Localisation | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: As an Translaiton Office, Abbyy from morning until evening, it is an indispenzable need for running our business. > > **Cons**: Georgian OCR is missing, not available. > > I have used this software since its beginning, decades passed away . ----- Page: 1 / 18\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/207256/abbyy-finereader?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/207256/abbyy-finereader) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
